Box spring beds have a long history. In the 19th century, mattresses often rested directly on the floor; later, two mattress layers were combined, and by the early 20th century the lower layer evolved into a sprung base. Today the box spring bed is widely used as a sleep system, especially in Scandinavia, Canada, and the United States.
Simple and Effective Box Spring Bed Design
In box spring designs, the usual slatted base is replaced by a sprung box. The frame is generally made of solid wood, though it may also be made of metal. Inside this base, also known as a spring box, spring units provide support. For better air circulation, box spring beds stand raised above the floor. The mattress rests on this base, and different mattress types can be used. Unlike slatted frames, which are often divided into adjustable zones, the box spring provides continuous support. With the right mattress and topper, the comfort of the bed can be tailored to the individual.
In this kind of bed, no additional expensive frame elements are necessary. A base, mattress, and topper are enough to create a soft, cloud-like sleeping surface.
If you choose a box spring frame with a headboard, the headboard becomes the third visible layer and completes the look.
Designing a Box Spring Bed Online
Online shopping is becoming more and more common in furniture. A visit to the furniture store is no longer essential; bedroom furniture, for example, can be configured easily on sites such as betten.de. A step-by-step guide helps customers put together a suitable box spring bed.
In step one, choose the appropriate bed frame. Materials and, of course, design are important: what do you like, and what fits within your own four walls? In step two, select the support system, consisting of the box, mattress, and topper. This system can be adapted for different body weights and sizes.
The next step concerns the mattress. The fourth step allows small adjustments. For example, a memory foam topper can be chosen for point-elastic support, or a luxury pocket-spring mattress can be selected for a closer fit to the body.
Because people do not buy a new bed every year, box spring beds may still be unfamiliar to some readers. Anyone who has stayed in a hotel or on a cruise ship has probably slept on one, because these beds are often used in both places. They can also make a strong impression at home.
